## Long description

VALLEJO MERDC Desert Colors is a set of acrylic model paints in 17 ml dispenser bottles created for reproducing United States Army MERDC camouflage schemes. The set contains the tones required to represent Gray and Red Desert patterns and is intended for use on plastic, resin and metal scale models.
Advantages
The paints are water-based acrylics supplied in convenient dispenser bottles that allow controlled dispensing and reduce waste. Formulated for model-making, they are compatible with airbrushing, hand brushing and weathering techniques. The colour selection matches historical MERDC desert palettes, enabling realistic camouflage finishes on military vehicle models.
Suitable for
 Airbrushing military vehicle model kits
 Hand brushing details and basecoats on plastic, resin or metal models
 Weathering, shading and camo pattern work on scale models
When it may not be suitable
These paints are formulated for hobby modelling and may require thinning for some airbrush setups; they are not intended as industrial or automotive paints. For very large surfaces or non-porous substrates outside typical model materials, alternative product types may be more appropriate.

 Colours included: US Earth Yellow, US Sand, US Earth Red, US Field Drab, Black, Red
 Suitable substrates: plastic, resin, metal

How to use
Shake bottles before use. For airbrushing, thin the paint as needed with the manufacturer-recommended thinner to achieve the desired viscosity; test on scrap material first.

 Check that 17 ml bottle size and dispenser style suit your application and airbrush setup
 Consider purchasing suitable thinners, primers and varnishes for best adhesion and finish
Usage recommendations
Allow adequate drying time between coats, thin paints appropriately for airbrushing, and prepare model surfaces with a compatible primer. Use reference images of MERDC Gray and Red Desert schemes to guide accurate colour application and pattern placement.
